When you visit Kirkham Optical for your eye test, you can expect nothing less than the highest standard of care. We are committed to ensuring that your eye care needs are met with precision and professionalism. All of our optometrists are registered with the General Optical Council, and our clinical staff are highly trained, so you know you’re in expert hands.
During your eye test, our optometrists will thoroughly assess both your vision and the health of your eyes. In addition to checking your eyesight, we will also look for early signs of other health conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or vascular disease, providing you with a comprehensive health check.
Your eye test will typically take around 40 minutes, during which time we will carefully evaluate your vision and discuss any concerns you may have. By attending regular eye exams—at least every two years, or more frequently if recommended—you can feel confident that your prescription is always up-to-date and that you’re wearing the most suitable lenses for your unique vision needs.
